Thanks to the Television Academy, I returned to co-host Backstage Live! at this year's Emmys! I was positioned directly to the side of the stage, where show presenters and winners step off after they've just spoken to the live television audience on the mainstage!

Here are a few of my favorite interviews from the evening - including candid moments with Oprah, Dolly Parton, and Dave Chappelle!

After seeing the hero in the movie Jumper teleport to the top of a pyramid, I booked a ticket to Cairo, Egypt to peep the Great Pyramids up close! Climbing inside of one was a more daring experience than what I'd expected - the passageway was narrow, steep, and sweaty. But, whoa. Stepping into that ancient global treasure, shrouded in mystery was straight-up magic.

In the Sahara Desert, when offered the chance to ride a camel, you say, 'Totally'! This well-hydrated buddy gave me a smooth ride and a chance to meet his rad Egyptian guide who was rocking an LA Dodgers hat!

Shared some of the joys of journalism with a super-responsive 5th grade class at O'Melveny Elementary for their Career Day! They didn't hesitate to raise their hands during Q&A time - energizing enthusiasm!

Watching Hidden Figures has me dreaming about space travel! The performances are all out of this world + share a tremendous part of African American/American/NASA technology history and that I'd never heard about before.

Representing as a Stormtrooper at today's Spark of Love toy drive in Ontario on ABC7! Thanks to the 501st Legion for letting me suit up! ABC7.com/sparkoflove has info for how to help bring joy to Southern California youth this holiday season.

My 6th year at Comic-Con. The costumes, the interviews, the pop culture tributes - I still get a rush out of witnessing and joining in on the festivities! This year, I hosted/produced 3 segments for ABC7 Eyewitness News - including a piece with stars from the Marvel film universe like Benedict Cumberbatch, Chris Pratt, and Michael B. Jordan.

I was incredibly thankful to host segments for ABC's On the Red Carpet at the Oscars show - both on-air and (for the first time) in virtual reality. Being on a team that values entertainment and technology inspires me to experiment with fun/funky modes of storytelling.

On TV: On the broadcast, I took viewers on a tour of the official Oscars green room - which was mega-plush and sponsored by Rolex. Each inch of the space was crafted to make guests feel comfortable and relaxed, a haven away from the main theatre. It worked. I wanted to move in.

Virtual Reality: Additionally, I hosted the virtual reality component of the show. With the STRIVR Labs team, using a 360 degree camera, we filmed segments on the carpet, on top of Jimmy Kimmel's talk show building, and inside the Governors Ball preview event. Through our interactive video, viewers explored exclusive spaces with us from every angle. I'm itching to work on more projects in the VR realm again!

I'm narrating a series of videos that celebrates career journeys that Hollywood performers have taken to arrive at this year's Oscars - ranging from Sylvester Stallone to Rachel McAdams to Chris Rock. The #RedCarpetRedefined collection comes from ABC's On the Red Carpetand Lexus and let's me lend my voice to sharing some inspirational narratives!

When I visited my friend in Chicago for a couple days, we took full advantage of the city's photogenic sites. The architecture commands your attention, but the strong winds reminded you to layer up and put a hat on!

I hosted a live-stream video series at Odysseo by Cavalia for ABC7 in Irvine, CA. Witnessing 65 horses perform epic choreography with human performers during the show was straight-up captivating. Meeting some of the four-legged stars and walking onstage afterwards made the experience even wilder!
